Watch Kirk Hammett Trip on His Wah Pedal

Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett posted video clips of his onstage fall in Milan, Italy, last night, as the band performed on a rain-soaked stage.

He was nearing the end of his solo on “Moth Into Flame” when he appeared to put his weight onto his wah-wah pedal, which forced its rain cover to slip, sending him into a clumsy collapse from which he quickly recovered, laughing.

“Ummm -- I slipped on my wet wah pedal,” Hammett wrote alongside the clips on Instagram, soon after the show was over. “It rained so much I felt like I was playing guitar in the shower."

In March, bassist Robert Trujillo predicted the band’s 11th album would be made within the next two years.

“We have a zone we call the Tuning Room, which is a space where we can jam and warm up before the show,” he said. “We're always in there coming up with ideas and you may get a few seconds of an idea but everything is recorded, always. And then, of course, at home, everyone has got ideas. … This time around, I think we'll be able to jump on it a lot quicker and jump in the studio and start working.”
